Jacksonville Navy reserve Cpt. relieved of duty

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- A Navy Reserve Captain of a unit based in Jacksonville was relieved of duty Tuesday for grounding two boats.

Capt. Adrian Garcia lost his duties as executive officer of Coastal Riverine Squadron due to a "loss of confidence and substandard performance involving a significant event", according to Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) Public Affairs.

The decision followed an investigation into the grounding of two CRS 10 34-foot patrol boats in April.

The investigation revealed Garcia demonstrated unsound decision making and failed to take the responsible steps to prevent the incident from happening, according to the NECC.
